Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a supplier of high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, has announced that laboratory tests by The Tolly Group prove its industry-leading ConnectX® 25GE Ethernet adapter significantly outperforms the Broadcom NetXtreme E series adapter in terms of performance, scalability and efficiency, the company said.
Mellanox is extending this technology lead as ConnectX-6 Dx, the latest addition to the award winning ConnectX family, is being shipped to hyperscale customers.
